Thanks to the sweeping enhancements made last year to our exhibit hall, NADP’s Discovery Zone, your investment in CONVERGE 2015 has never been more valuable. Now is the time to take advantage of more new and exciting business development opportunities this year’s Discovery Zone offers you.
Two and half days of dynamic networking, learning and business opportunities feature 12 ½ hours of exhibit time – all structured in ways that build traffic.
95% of Discovery Zone exhibitors rated last year’s event good or excellent. That’s an astounding response!
Some exhibitor’s comments:
• Attendees were the exact people that we wanted to meet. • Great forum to meet with industry leaders and decision makers.• I liked how the breaks were planned to direct attendees to exhibit hall.• People actually hung-out in the exhibit hall…it seemed to be the location.
DZ Demos, those 12-minute talks presented by exhibitors, became an instant event highlight last year and are back again — another reason to act now to secure both your exhibit space and DZ Demo time slot to share your newest products and services.
NADP represents over 90% of the industry – a concentration of buyers, thought leaders and decision makers unmatched anywhere else. Talk about business development opportunity!
